type 9 right angle speedo gearbox

as title - I need one of the speedograph right angle gearboxes.

before I shell out £95 plus postage plus a new cable i thought I'd see if anyone had one gathering dust they'd like to swap for beer tokens

Is there a specific reason for you wanting a R/H drive? I let the speedo cable come out into the footwell and found it didnt get in the way of my peddles. Mind you mine are Mk 2 Escort based and not floor mounted which may be a consideration for you.

I posted this about 3 years back ...... might be worth checking out?

I was looking at these - not sure if anyone has come across these but the website is very interesting and they say carriage charges are low on small parts - they are about half the price of Burtons at $88 - £55 - but not sure of the quality. Look ok though? Also, I've not checked the dimensions will fit either yet as I've only just found the site.

yes, that's what I have on the sprint car - but this is a road car I've rebuilt for someone else, so it can't go through the body tub.

These are Reliant Scimitars - CVH and type 9 from the factory but I've lowered the floors which impacts the standard cable route.

What a terrible website

I can't see anything that would fit a type 9 - do you mean #40/41/42?

Yes those ones - they look to be the correct part but would have to check the thread sizes and internal square size but they seem to be Ford fitment?

I will need one also at some point but all those I have found are around £95 mark.

no they're threaded - type 9 speedo cable is held in by a circlip.
